PLEASE NOTE THE HOURS WILL BE SPLIT OVER THREE DAYS AND YOU MUST BE ABLE TO WORK ON A FRIDAY AS PART OF THIS ROLE. THE OTHER TWO WORKING DAYS CAN BE FLEXIBLE TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE INDIVIDUAL AND THE SERVICE.

We are looking for an individual to deliver a comprehensive and high-quality administrative service to the Public Protection Unit, based at the Langlee Community Centre.

You will be required to provide administrative support to the Nurse Consultant in Public Protection, undertake a wide range of administrative duties, and liaise with and exchange confidential and sensitive information with other departments. You will use several different computer systems and will be expected to use your initiative and manage your workload efficiently.

You should possess the appropriate administration qualifications or equivalent experience. You will require excellent organisational skills and must be able to work as part of a team. Multi-tasking skills and knowledge of NHS systems and processes would be advantageous.

***PLEASE NOTE: We cannot accept late applications so please ensure your application is submitted early***

*Please note: As this is a part time post the salary shown will be pro rata*

NHS Scotland is reducing their full-time working week from 37.5 to 37 hours per week from 1 April 2024 but with no change in pay. This reduction will also be applied pro rata for part time staff. This advert and any subsequent offer/contract of employment therefore reflects the new working hours. However, as not all service areas will be able to adopt the 37 hour working week immediately from 1 April 2024, you may be required to work up to an additional 30 minutes per week for a temporary period, for which you would be paid, until the service you are working in changes rosters or working patterns to accommodate the new reduced working week. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Hiring Manager. 

NHS Scotland is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best. To this end, NHS Scotland welcomes applications from all sections of society.
